Sure we can always add stuff !

F11 toggle full screen mode

F10 to load settings

F6 to highlight text in adress bar

F3 find next (when using find word)

CTRL+ENTER while writing in the adress bar to add www. before your text and .com after your text, then load the url

CTRL+D add to bookmarks

CTRL+ + or - to zoom/unzoom (to make it nice for people without pavnums, we can add shift+ctrl+last button other than backspace on top row to unzoom or something like that)

CTRL+Scroll up or down to zoom/unzoom (too !)

CTRL+T to add a new tab (replace TAB )

CTRL+W to close current tab

CTRL+Left click to open the link on a new tab

CTRL+Top row number to switch to other tabs (CTRL+1 for the first one etc...)

ALT+Left_arrow to load previous page

ALT+Right_arrow to load next page

TAB highlight next highlightable element (boxes,checkboxes,text fields etc)

Spacebar to interact with checkboxes (tick/untick, maybe it's already there, not tested)

Maybe I got it wrong but maybe I got it right.

What if you made a while statement that used the isActive() method in the InputMethodManager to return true or false and while it's false it uses the keyboard shortcut?

Even if that's too much am I still right in how to implement this? Kind of a question as well.

I didn't even know half of these
[Android Apps and Games] anthonycr:

Sorry, no can do. The other one was too similar to another app on Google Play :banghead:

App looks good so far. User agent not working on my 10.2 Note2 though. If u ever fix it, do mention it in the changelog so I can buy it. :)

I'm quite surprised to find a WebKit based browser that implement disabling of overview. It's a real pain to have to double tap to zoom in to every single webpage imo. Hence, a big thanks to you for making it happen for people who needs it like me

---------- Post added at 05:27 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:11 AM ----------

Bought it on impulse since I thought it's a really nice browser. Strangely, user agent works now. Perks for being a supporter? :)

Hope you continue your work on it instead of abandoning like others. XScope is an example of that...

[Android Apps and Games] Magissia:

[Android Apps and Games] anthonycr:
Yeahhhhhhhh, if you watch a ton of videos in your browser then a WebKit browser isn't the way to go. WebKit doesn't play them well... I wish I could fix that, but sadly, it's up to Google. It's the price you pay for making the browser so small.

I can attest to doing that!

That is very strange. Did you reboot the browser after changing it before seeing if the user agent worked?

How to save flash cache?

God is Original Developer :)
[Android Apps and Games] anthonycr:
Um what?
[Android Apps and Games] Asadullah:
Um it's simple How to save flash cache? Don't you get it bro? jk lol

I'm wondering if you ca help me I'm building a webview what It's gonna do is go to a certain page. Then copy a url and go to the url which is a download link (Ouya updater). One of the issues I'm having is that webviews don't typically let you download zip files. How were you able to allow zip files be downloaded?
[Android Apps and Games] anthonycr:
You have to download stuff using the android DownloadManager. Im not sure if the ouya includes it though... If you want to check out how I did it in Lightning, check out the Utils class in the utilities folder

If you want to chat in hangouts just message me at anthonyrestaino11 @ gmail dot com

Saving flash based files possibility whether or not encrypted.

Anyway after heavy search I found a browser based downloader to do the same.

I saw flash temp files but it works like virtualization. Tried to hack a game while running but did not work.

Thinking if browser can load flv swf stream cant it be copied to sdcard location instead of re downloading using a download manager?

Probably not possible with WebView, and it would be difficult for me to test especially since WebView doesn't support plugins as of 4.3 and doesn't work in 4.2 and all my working devices are at least on 4.2. :-/
[Android Apps and Games] anthonycr:
Uh-uh-uppppdate!

Changelog:

- Fixed tabs being added out of order

- Added ability to rename bookmarks

- Added option to disable gesture navigation

- Fixed a bug that crashed the browser on exit and a bug that crashed the browser on long-click

- better code structure
[Android Apps and Games] 0jmaster0:
Still troubles with hyperlink images. Open in new tab mainly opens picture, not the link it's hiding. But at least it is possible to download some of the hyperlink images in that way. Better to split these two commands
[Android Apps and Games] khy504011412:
Great app! Very smooth! But some suggestions

1. Improve bookmark ui

a. Add option to select the order of bookmarks

b. Speed dial with icons or thumbnails like chrome and stock browser (just my personal opinion)

2. Add back and forward buttons when gesture is disabled

3. Add option to keep the browser when the last tab is closed

I've given a 5 star rating in play store. Hope the browser can become better and better. Support you!:thumbup:

[Android Apps and Games] anthonycr:
I apologize for the lack up updates in recent days, but I am first and foremost a student and this semester is proving to be more work than usual since I transferred to a new school.

Just wanted to let you know I haven't abandoned things, I just unfortunately have other priorities which take precedent over lightning right now.

I'm developing whenever I have time.
[Android Apps and Games] chill145:
I like all of these but most important to me would be to keep browser open when tab is closed. Like bring it back to the homepage you have set

Other than that, very nice and good luck in school.
[Android Apps and Games] anthonycr:
Thanks. Why is this something people like? I actually really dislike chrome because it doesn't close when I close the last tab. I CAN and probably will add an option for this, but how is it more convenient.
[Android Apps and Games] chill145:
I just think it is easier to switch websites. For example, if I'm on one website and I want to go to another bookmark. I'll close the tab which brings me to the homepage (bookmarks) and I open another site.
[Android Apps and Games] polobunny:
For the record, Chrome is absolutely craptastic on older phones. Doesn't matter to you because you're on a Note 2, but to others saving a few milliseconds translates in saving a few dozen seconds.

Re: [APP][2.2+] The Lightning Browser v1.2.5 - the fastest browser around

Yeah, I won't argue that.

I work through my phone, so my needs are likely far different from the average user.

---------- Post added at 10:09 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:04 AM ----------

Tried naked browser for a few minutes and Uninstalled it quickly. It's like GIMP vs. Photoshop in the ui department. Drove me crazy.

My browser of choice at the moment is Chrome, although the stock browser on the Note 2 is excellent. I use to be s huge Firefox mobile user, but as Chrome for the desktop became more useful and the Firefox mobile app became slow and unreliable, I had to make a switch.

If I need a "light" browser, I use Opera Mobile as it doesn't compromise on certain features I need (like sharing, bookmark syncing, etc. )
[Android Apps and Games] imucarmen:
great browser/very fast

Thanks for this excellent browser. It's very fast. Looking forward to having the settings update and desktop agent. I know you are trying to keep this small without much bloat but would you ever considering put on screen navigation buttons like ics browser+ has? Even if you don't it's a great browser which once completed I think will be my main go to.

Re: [APP][2.2+] The Lightning Browser v1.2.5 - the fastest browser around

Coming soon, I have most of the settings working 100% so now it's just fixing a couple bugs and adding the bookmark ability;)
[Android Apps and Games] nimrodity:
tested the browser since i always like to test new browsers out there.

Though there isnt much to test yet but its webkit based what is really good,because it is fast and has nice options.So it has a lot of potential for sure.

Naked browser is my default since it was released,thats why i will compare it to lightning being the benchmark for me

Speed is pretty close i would say but the scrolling is a bit wobbly/jittery.

Here is what i miss though

1-Bookmarks of course,but they should be also a quickly accessible,preferable without having to hit any buttons.Something similar to naked would be my prefered way.

2-fullscreen

3-option to permanently disable the url bar while lading the page and just to have a small progress bar.Url bar should be made visible with hitting menu button though to type a new url,after hitting enter it should auto hide

4-browser zoom rates from webkit browser (close-medium-far)

5-editable text size (i mean the one you see in the stock browser with the percentage

6-option for disable/enable/ondemand plugin

7-option for tab switching with volume buttons

8-search suggestions

9-option "open pages in overview"

10-option desktop/mobile UA

11- quick back would be awesome

thats it for now i think,but i will defintely keep my eyes on this.

Please let me know which of my suggestions you think are worth considering.
[Android Apps and Games] anthonycr:
Re: [APP][2.2+] The Lightning Browser v1.2.5 - the fastest browser around

1 - totally yes

2 - will consider it

3 - do know a browser that does this, I don't quite follow your description

4 - yes, agreed... I enabled a setting that disabled page loads while zooming but so far it seems that (as you said) it makes it less smooth

5 - I'll try to look at that

6 - already been coded for the next version (plugins are enabled default in this version)

7 - interesting idea, although I'm not sure about it because it would make it hard to change the volume while in the browser

8 - yes, I'm not sure if adding search suggestions is hard so if it isn't, I'll try to add them eventually.

9 - do you mean switch between open pages in overview and not, because it already loads them totally zoomed out?

10 - in the process of finishing the code for this

11 - quick back?? So far you can go back by hitting the back button in the action bar, hitting your physical back button, long press a tab to close it, or long-press the action bar back button to exit completely. Is there a back option I missed?!?! Lol :p

EDIT: thanks for the input
[Android Apps and Games] nimrodity:
AW: [APP][2.2+] The Lightning Browser v1.2.5 - the fastest browser around

Thx for listening,to explain some things a bit more

2- full screen would be great, really don't like to see the ststus bar while browsing

3-quick ics in phone mode loads pages without displaying the URL bar, l Iove it on the phone, naked browser will get this option in the pro version fyi

4-zoom rates maybe aren't that important since you can achieve this now by tweaking the dpi per app, but that's why point 9 would be important, more at 9

5- text size is something really important for me, especially the percentage one from the stock browser, naked only has 3 different sizes and neither of them works good on my Nexus 7,on the phone its a smaller issue but still is, that's why I'd love to have it.

7-never change volume anyways but thinking about others that's why this should be optional for users to choose in the aettings

9-yes pages load in overview but that's only good on a tablet, that's why I want to be able to disable it so the page loads in the default medium zoom rate of the browser, very important on a phone imo

10-quick back is a thing I know at least 2 browsers have/had. Xscope and one other(maybe it was a old maxthon version) . I mean something like a cached back to last page without reloading the page so you instantly get back to the last page, would especially improve the experience on forum Imo but I don't know how hard it is to code that, naked isn't aware of any solution for this for now, but I liked it very much on those browsers that had it.

That's it for my input, thx for the detailed answer.

Happy to provide my feedback

damn the browser is fast. faster then chrome (and beta) and my stock browser. only things i would like to see are being able to change user agent, sync my bookmarks from desktop chrome, and full screen mode (hide address bar and buttons, but keep status bar). thanks great work!!
[Android Apps and Games] SaschaHa:
Just installed -> seems to be a very fast and good brwoser! Thanks! :)

Bookmarks... will there be a google-synch? Would be nice, because that would make it easier to manage them and to get them synched with other browsers, that supports google bookmarks :o

Re: [APP][2.2+] The Lightning Browser v1.2.5 - the fastest browser around

Very fast and nice looking browser indeed! I would agree with guys above, more features would be lovely, especially fullscreen, mid range browsing, bookmarks, no bars in fullscreen, just tiny progress line.

Will look forward to your creation, its just lovely. If you don't know what I'm talking about - try dolphin mini browser. Its suits geeks best. No bloatware, sharing crap, nothing. Just pure and clear browsing :)

One more thing, if you allow me :) speed dial bookmarks please :)

Good luck in dev, we trust in you.!

and the "Open in a new tab" function when you long press on a URL/Link

This!

[Android Apps and Games] djzikario:
I'm trying to use this open source app as an alternative to webview to display my website "mobile android application" in the form of an APK.

Just judging by this browsers name I guess it should run more smooth than the laggy webview method.

I'm a noob but I would appreciate if I can get instructions of how to hide, if not remove, everything related to the interface and just leave an "iframe" of my website default address.

Would love to learn how to natively code to my needs, but unfortunately I have weeks if not days to finish this app so I see this as an opportunity to dump the buggy android webview, correct me if I am wrong in my decision.
[Android Apps and Games] anthonycr:
I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but this Browser utilizes the Webview. If you are finding that the browser displays your website a lot better than just a random WebView widget in your app, why not look at the options I enabled in my customized version of the WebView?

Go to the source website and in the source folder /customwebviews is my custom webview which I basically just extended to work a little better than the default widget by enabling a bunch of options and turning others off.

Request for enhancement(s)

First, excellent work. I am so glad this works on older android.

I want to use this browser all of the time, but there is a feature

that is preventing me from doing so. To wit, proxy support.

Under settings, could we have a Proxy Host (name or ip), and

Proxy Port like with the Orweb browser?

There are a couple of more features in Orweb that would be

nice too (clear cache, block referrer info, and cookie whitelisting),

but being able to use a proxy is real important.
[Android Apps and Games] Pumpino:
Is there any way to re-order the bookmarks?

Is swiping the only way to navigate forward. ie. There aren't any back and forward buttons?

Is there a way to stop the address bar appearing every time a link is pressed in full screen mode? It's quite distracting having it flick down. If it's needed, we can swipe down ourselves.

A very fast and simple browser though. Thanks for the hard work.

Any possibility of adding the option to change swipe left and right to switch tabs rather than go back and forward?

Not the files per se, but the indication that the downloads are complete. How do I get rid of this? Also, you really need to add a download manager to the browser.
